Listing on a Local Directory

Nearly 97% of people use the internet when researching products or services in their local area. People start their search most of the time on Google instead of going directly to the websites of small businesses. Here they are exposed to thousands of search results which are unique each time the search is conducted. In this way, they go through multiple websites before landing on the one they find relevant.

If you are a medical facility (like a Dental Clinic, Health Clinic, Physio, or SPA) owner you want to be in as many local directory listings (in addition to your online website and social media accounts) as possible, to attract as many clients as possible and push them to your site or place of practice. Without listing your practice on local online directories, you may never bring your online presence to its full potential.

The most ideal online directories let you own hyper-local community contact details that feature: a company name, web address, local address, phone number, optional business coupons, promotions, deals, and events.

Benefits of a Local Online Directory

Google and Yelp are the bare minimum. Additional exposure will increase website traffic for your practice.

• Local Directory Listing can boost your healthcare facility's online visibility. More listings will increase the likelihood of clients finding your practice by way of Google.

• Your business can improve your search engine rankings from a directory listing. It will take advantage of advanced algorithms that weigh lots of different factors to determine which businesses should be at the top of the search results. Directory listings are one of those factors that can impact a ranking, so having a listing on your directory website can boost your natural search results on other sites.

• Directory Listings can provide credibility for the business and validate the business and with that, they build trust when a customer searches the web for a local product or service. They are far more likely to call the first business that they see. Most consumers will do a little research to learn more about particular business seeing that the business is listed on multiple sites, including local directories. This instills confidence in the consumer.

• Oftentimes directory listings can appear higher in search results than individual business websites for businesses that do not have a lot of content on their site, or don't have the budget to invest in an effective SEO strategy or online ads.

• Being listed on various directory websites is a cheap, affordable and effective way to drive traffic and customers to their website.
